STOCKARD Super-ziiror of High School Izzsrruftion HIS has been a memorable year for the schools of Dallas. At no time have the educational facilities reached the acme of perfection or the edu- cational opportunities been so abundant as this year. This progress has been due, in no small part, to the Administration. They have been the Good Shep- herds, leading their flock from the Wilds of Ignorance towards the high, broad road of Learning. To the Administration we Wish to pay our grateful tribute of appreciation for their faithful, ellicient work, and we assure them that We will earnestly endeavor to show our appreciation by more zealous efforts to put to the best possible use these many opportunities. i -..gif I 5 Eg..-

They lost ll 1 only two games during the entire season. This year the enrollment reached ,W ,N i 1592 pupils. The Golf Club was organized and made a good record. The ,, debating and declamation teams did splendidly. Mr. Parker went to Cincin- 3,1 l nati to represent Forest at the National Fducational Association, which met to ,N discuss educational problems in the high schools. The baseball team won the l ' city championship, and the track and relay, and basketball teams did fine work. lg, 1 No school could have begun a year more gloriously than did Forest in 1925. ,N 3 l 1, For the first time in the history of the school the football team won the city I lf championship and the district championship, and lost only the final game for the W 1 State championship. The Journalism Classes won the Journal Jr. Cup at the li l X 1 State Fair, and the R. O. T. C. Band, under the leadership of Walter Ewell, , il l won the Sousa Cup. The basketball team was delayed in starting practice, due to i' Y 1 ,N the prolonged football season, but showed up unusually well. ,N 1 ,l, During the years of Forest Avenue High Schoolls existence the school has , , ' li stood for the highest ideals in every Held of activity, from athletics to scholar- ll' 3,, ship. VVhether winning or losing, the students have proved loyal on every tl, xl occasion, and never has the Green and VVhite gone down in the dust in the hearts X ' of the students. By this spirit Forest has Won a great name for itself, not only in il , Dallas but in this and other states. We hope that in the future the school will '12, l 1 keep up the good work that has been started and carried out for the past years. , 9 ix 1 it . 2 , l ig l 1 s Il , l 33 A-J.

MR. VVYLIF A. PARKER Trincipal MR. WYLIE A. PARKER, our capable and ellicient principal, has endeared himself to every member of the student body. He has proved himself a friend and a wise counselor on all occa- sions, ever ready to share our troubles and pleasures alike. The in- fluence of his strong Christian character and lofty ideals will be a heritage to us in the years to come. During the past four years, his exceptional executive qualihcations have in a large measure aided the Seniors of 1926 to the success attained, and we Wish to express our appreciation of his helpfulness. -WQQ 16 Egg.-
